"Neon Quasi-Saint Son" thought with some distress.
It's all my overwhelming charm that made "Lan Fang Immortal Fairy" step forward so eagerly.
Being too handsome, too excellent, is indeed an "original sin."
Heh, hehehe...
Just as "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" was feeling exceptionally good about himself, "Yu Hua Sword Immortal's" furious gaze shifted, and he suddenly aimed his spear at "Neon Quasi-Saint Son."
"Neon, you little brat, what kind of love potion did you give Lan Fang? Spit it out quickly, or I'll kill you today!"
"Neon Quasi-Saint Son"
o( (⊙_⊙) )o
Panicked to death!
He was completely caught off guard, with no psychological preparation at all, and was simply watching the show when he was suddenly blasted by "Yu Hua Sword Immortal." How could he not panic? m..oΓg
"Sect Leader Yu Hua, you, you must be joking. What does this have to do with me?"
In his panic, "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" instinctively retorted.
His defense was quite skillful.
Indeed, this was a matter between "Lan Fang Immortal Fairy" and Ling Weifeng, so why was he, "Neon Quasi-Saint Son," involved?
Seeing their most outstanding and brilliant junior being targeted, the Sect Master True Person of "Ying Zhou Sword Sect," "Tian Zhao True Person," was not having it. He stepped forward to defend "Neon Quasi-Saint Son."
"Yu Hua, I can understand you being angry, but you can't just accuse people randomly! Our Neon has always been law-abiding and modest. Why are you targeting him?"
"Law-abiding and modest, hahahaha..."
"Yu Hua Sword Immortal" let out a series of earth-shattering laughs, as if he had heard the most absurd joke in the world.
However, "Yu Hua Sword Immortal's" laughter was chilling, filled with murderous intent.
He said coldly.
"If you don't want anyone to know, don't do it! Neon has been causing a lot of trouble lately! Tian Zhao, you still don't know, this Neon is extraordinary. He wants to be the co-leader of the three sects. He has secretly bribed many Grand Elders from our Peng Lai Sword Sect and Fang Zhang Sword Sect, and he even wants to bribe Lan Fang..."
What, Neon wants to be the "co-leader of the three sects"?
"Tian Zhao True Person" couldn't help but be startled.
He knew "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" had ambition.
Having ability and ambition was perfectly normal.
"Tian Zhao True Person" had also strongly supported "Neon Quasi-Saint Son."
Otherwise, he wouldn't have vigorously pushed for the new rule of "inter-sect challenges."
However, according to the original plan, "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" was still only to serve as the "Sacred Son of Ying Zhou Sword Sect."
And the matter of challenging "Kong Xu Sacred Son" and competing for the position of "Sacred Son of Peng Lai Sword Sect" was to be carried out by "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" younger brother, "Dong Ba Quasi-Saint Son."
There was no mention of "co-leader of the three sects" in the original plan.
"Tian Zhao True Person" didn't oppose "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" ambition, but he deeply disliked "Neon Quasi-Saint Son's" actions behind his back without his knowledge.
What, you don't even put me in your eyes anymore!
The gaze of "Tian Zhao True Person" towards "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" gradually turned cold.
At this moment, "Tian Zhao True Person" couldn't help but think of the disappearance of "Dong Ba Quasi-Saint Son," and his gaze towards "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" became even more stern.
However, "Tian Zhao True Person" still defended "Neon Quasi-Saint Son."
He looked at "Yu Hua Sword Immortal" and said in a deep voice.
"Yu Hua, don't slander good people here. To my knowledge, Neon is a good child. He has no ambition, let alone wanting to be the co-leader of the three sects..."
Before "Tian Zhao True Person" could finish speaking, he was interrupted unceremoniously by "Yu Hua Sword Immortal."
"Would I falsely accuse him of such a thing? Humph, to tell you the truth, I already have all the evidence. The first time Neon contacted Lan Fang and tried to bribe her, Lan Fang reported the truth to me!"
"Yu Hua Sword Immortal" looked at "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" and said sternly.
"Neon, the first time you tried to bribe Lan Fang, you gave her ten million low-grade spirit stones and promised that if you became the co-leader of the three sects, Lan Fang would be the number one Saintess, and Peng Lai Sword Sect would be the foremost among the Three Immortal Sword Sects, right?"
Uh...
"Neon Quasi-Saint Son" was speechless.
His face revealed a look of alarm and shock.
Because what "Yu Hua Sword Immortal" said was completely accurate.
But why did "Yu Hua Sword Immortal" know this clearly?
Many of these secrets were known only to "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" and "Lan Fang Immortal Fairy."
Could it be...
Just as "Yu Hua Sword Immortal" said, "Lan Fang Immortal Fairy" was never bribed from the beginning, and all their schemes were immediately told to "Yu Hua Sword Immortal" by "Lan Fang Immortal Fairy" as soon as she turned around.
The thought of this possibility made "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" break out in a cold sweat, his face turning pale.
However, he quickly regained his composure.
Impossible!
If "Lan Fang Immortal Fairy" was truly not bribed, then why did she contradict "Yu Hua Sword Immortal" just now?
Just as "Neon Quasi-Saint Son" was filled with confusion, "Lan Fang Immortal Fairy" spoke up.
Her beautiful eyes were as tender as water, and she looked affectionately at Ling Weifeng opposite her.
"Brother Ling, do you remember me?"
Ling Weifeng was initially in a daze. He didn't know what "Lan Fang Immortal Fairy" was playing at, but when he heard her call out "Brother Ling," his whole body trembled as if struck by lightning.
The most beautiful memories, buried deep in Ling Weifeng's heart, surged forth like a volcanic eruption.
This was decades ago.
At that time, Ling Weifeng was just an unknown rogue cultivator, with only the "Foundation Establishment realm" of cultivation.
One day, while traveling, he happened to encounter a bright young girl fighting a demonic beast.
Out of righteousness, and of course, because the bright young girl was so beautiful that his heart fluttered, Ling Weifeng stepped forward to help her slay the demonic beast.
To thank Ling Weifeng, the bright young girl built a bonfire and personally cooked a "roasted demonic beast meat" dish, rich in aroma and flavor, to entertain Ling Weifeng.
That meal of "roasted demonic beast meat" was the most delicious delicacy Ling Weifeng had ever tasted in his life.
After eating, Ling Weifeng and the bright young girl chatted about everything, life, and ideals. They found common ground and their feelings quickly deepened...
For the next half a year, they traveled together, slaying demonic beasts, upholding justice, and acting chivalrously, enjoying themselves greatly.
Every time the bright young girl called Ling Weifeng "Brother Ling," Ling Weifeng's heart would melt.
Alas, good times are always short!
One morning, Ling Weifeng woke up by the bonfire, but the bright young girl on the other side had already disappeared.
Just as she had suddenly appeared, she had also suddenly disappeared from Ling Weifeng's world.
For a long time afterward, Ling Weifeng was dispirited, as if he had lost something most precious.
